Influences:

John Stevens

John was a legend even before he died; a free jazz drummer with a hard swing and an amazing polyrythmic understanding. He was a driven educationalist, who in his own words had 'no choice'. He was "in this for life". He explained some of his rhythmic concepts as 'Deep Structure' and the 'Fundamental Rhythmic Equation'. Having sat next to him playing bongos to his drums, holding down a 20 piece improvising orchestra, I can testify not only to his drive, but to the consequence of what it was he was actually talking about. I flew; I absolutely flew, in the slipstream or rather in the hurricane he created.
